Purrfectly written - By: Mehajabeen Farid, 26 Jan 2008 
The Cat Mummy was written by Jacqueline Wilson (one of my favourite authors) & was published in 2001/ 2002 in two different editions - the Corgi Yearling edition & the Doubleday edition. It was illustrated beautifully by Nick Sharratt (who draws a lot for many different authors) & it was illustrated very exquisitely. This book is great for children who are over the age of 7 or 8 up to the age of 15 or 16 because adults are far too boring to read such a good & exciting book like this one. I think girls would like this book better than boys but I might be wrong.
The plot of the story is that Verity's mum & now her cat Mabel have both died. She is more upset about the cat because she did not even know her mother even though she went to the other's grave a lot. The ending is quite nice though & it is a very clever idea!
SUPERB, ENCHANTING . . . AND UNIQUE - By: , 21 Aug 2003 
Firstly, the names of the characters, Verity & Mabel, were very colourful. I think old-fashioned names are brilliant for this sort of story. The illustrations were perfect! Jacqueline Wilson is unique with a gift. The last sentance of The Cat Mummy is a wonderful use of text: 'I'll never love Baby quite as much as I loved my Mabel . . .'
Although I have given this book 5 out of 5, I think the part about Ancient Eqypt is very boring.
The front cover of the book is designed very well & the picture of Mabel the cat, is marvellous!
Jacqueline Wilson is extremly gifted for literature, especiallly this sort of genre.
All her hardback books give you a sort of comfort when you turn each page.
Watch out for Midnight, Jacqueline Wilson's new realise in October 2003.
This book is one you can't put down! - By: , 14 Dec 2001 This book has sad & happy parts. It's about a girl callled Verity but alll her other friends have interesting pets & she just has a cat callled Mabel. You'll soon find out why it's callled 'The Cat Mummy'!
Jacqueline WIlson once more tackles a difficult issue - By: , 26 Sep 2001 I am an adult who greatly enjoys & admires Jacqueline Wilson's work. I found this book, a little darker than the others but still touching issues ignored by many. I am not sure if I would recommend this to a smalll child, I know I found it disturbing but those who do read it will get a lot out of it.
The saddest Jaqueline Wilson book i have read! - By: , 10 Jul 2001 This book was great to start off with but when i got to the main part i could tell what would happen because of the project the little girl had been doing at school. And i won`t give away the ending but alll i can say is get a box of tissues next to you before you start reading, you`ll need them!
